Chapter 103 Think it's too expensive? Then don't rob me!
Chapter 103 Think it's too expensive? Then don't rob me!
Beads of sweat rolled down Liao Yong's forehead.
"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin, is there some misunderstanding here? I... I really don't know anything about what Chairman Lei did. I'm just an employee..."
Lin Chen leaned close to Liao Yong's ear and spoke.
"Southern Branch, ledger number QN-734, there's a messy account of 1.3 million yuan that you set up. Lei Qianjun is making you take the blame."
"Also, regarding the bidding for the fire protection system at the western suburbs warehouse, you took a 300,000 yuan kickback. The money was transferred to your underling; the bank account number ends in 6682. Lei Qianjun has the complete set of transfer records."
"Oh, right."
"I also have a recording here. It's Lei Qianjun telling his confidant that if this summit is messed up, he'll kill you first. You'd better be careful."
boom!
That last shred of hope was wiped out by those words.
Liao Yong's head buzzed, and everything went black before his eyes.
He did so many dirty jobs for Lei Qianjun, thinking he was someone important. Little did he know that in Lei Qianjun's eyes, he was just a chamber pot, the kind that had to be smashed after use!
My legs buckled, and I couldn't stand up anymore.
"thump!"
Liao Yong grabbed a pen from the table and frantically signed his name at the end of the Longji Fresh contract.
After signing the papers, Liao Yong felt completely exhausted, but the will to live made him jump up, grab the microphone from the emcee, and shout at the top of his lungs, "It's fake! Jiang Haihui is all fake!!"
"What dumping! Those are dead fish kept alive by banned antibiotics and adrenaline! They're garbage! They're poison!"
He went all out to deliver this testament of loyalty.
"That's not all! I also know the locations of their three underground fish-poisoning farms outside the province! One in eastern Guangdong, and two in southern Fujian! I have all the ledgers, and I'm willing to become a witness against them! I'll hand them all over!"
These words caused an uproar throughout the venue.
Lei Qianjun, who had just been dragged to the glass entrance of the venue by two special police officers, overheard Liao Yong's betrayal clearly.
He turned around abruptly, his eyes instantly turning frighteningly red and bloodshot, staring intently at his most trusted subordinate in the meeting room.
"Liao Yong!!"
A guttural roar escaped his throat as he struggled desperately, trying to rush back and tear the traitor to pieces.
But before he could catch his breath, he felt a sweet taste in his throat.
"puff--"
He spat out a mouthful of blood directly onto the glass door, leaving a large red stain.
Lei Qianjun's eyelids rolled back, his body went limp, and he fainted on the spot from anger.
The two SWAT officers, with no particular expression, simply dragged his limp body into the police car with its flashing red and blue lights.
In the meeting room, after hearing Liao Yong's revelations, Old Sun was so angry that his hands trembled.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed an encrypted number:
"Connect to the Joint Enforcement Command Center! This is Sun Peide! I'm reporting three massive illegal breeding bases in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, using banned drugs... Yes! Immediately shut down all of Jianghai Club's properties! Don't let a single one escape!"
Once the phone call ended, Jianghai's downfall was a foregone conclusion.
The atmosphere in the meeting room immediately changed when Lei Qianjun collapsed.
The bosses, including Li Jiande, who had just been siding with Lei Qianjun, making a scene, and even trying to force Lin Chen to lower the price, were now green with envy.
"Boss Lin, oh dear, it was all a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! We were fooled by those bastards from the Jianghai Association!"
"Look at our previous cooperation... how about we go with the price reduction agreement I proposed? Don't worry, I'll personally make up for any losses you incur, just to be friends!"
Lin Chen didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
He walked directly onto the stage and picked up the microphone.
"From now on, all the verbal concessions I promised you are gone."
"Longji Fresh's exclusive supply agreements will be subject to a 10% price increase on top of the original prices!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room erupted in cheers.
"What? The price is going up again?"
"This is too much..."
Just as one shopkeeper was about to complain, Lin Chen gave him a cold look and retorted, "Zero drug residue, purely wild, fish that can save lives, and you think it's too expensive?"
One sentence sent a chill down everyone's spine.
expensive?
Compared to the reputation of my restaurant, the lives of my customers, and even the prospect of going to jail, this 10% price increase is nothing!
No one in the room said a word.
To completely convince these people, Lin Chen strode up to the constant temperature cabin, grabbed the canvas covering it, and ripped it off!
Whoosh!
The canvas fell to the ground.
Under the lights, the two-meter-long red trevally came to life and suddenly swung its tail wildly in the myrrh-infused water!
"Snapped!"
Water splashed onto the faces of Li Jiande and the others in the front row, and the icy water made them look quite disheveled.
But no one had time to wipe their face.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the fish scales shimmering under the light. Their lively, leaping movements and the scene that seemed like divine intervention left everyone present dumbfounded.
Old Sun rushed over excitedly, holding the report high in his hand and shouting with all his might, "Look closely! This isn't just food! This is a miracle of marine biology!"
"Its cell activity is 420%! Let me tell you what that means. It means its nutritional value and vitality are several times higher than top-grade wild ginseng! Eating this isn't just eating food, it's eating your life!"
The bigwig himself spoke, becoming the final spark that ignited the entire room.
The business owners present all went crazy!
"Holy crap! I'll buy it!"
Tang Zhen reacted the fastest. He shoved aside the person blocking his way, pulled a blank checkbook from his pocket, slammed it on the nearest table, and roared with red eyes:
"Boss Lin! I don't want anything! The bathwater for this fish... no! The water used to raise this fish! Marriott will take it all! Name your price!"
"Get out of my way, you surnamed Tang! Boss Lin, our Dingfu Restaurant needs ten exclusive spots! Cash! Transfer now!"
Zhao Dingfu also became anxious.
"And our Li Family Cuisine!"
"The Wang family wants it too!"
Suddenly, the whole place was in complete chaos.
The bosses who were dressed so respectably just a moment ago now had bloodshot eyes, waving bank cards, checks, and blank contracts, pushing forward recklessly.
The scene was utterly chaotic.
Li Jiande, who had just been trying to take advantage of the crowd, lost his footing and fell flat on his face. Just as he was about to get up, a size 43 leather shoe stepped hard on his face.
He didn't even have time to utter a sound before he was swallowed up by the crowd.
